This terrifying duo, which operates in the theatrical world but can be found in all spheres of jet-society, is about to be shattered by Léon's sister-in-law Nadège, a small but formidable teenager who, thanks to her malice and devastating determination, will succeed in triumphing over Léon and marrying the illustrious Boris.
